headline stories. of donald trump by offering a. call with the leader of ukraine. also ahead an investigation reveals. transporting its plastic waste to malaysia we get reaction from climate change. if you wish to. dishes sorry i'm feeling. kept up with what. finally complaint against a major french. lifeline to the rights abusing regime of the country's

previous leader. around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the entire news room just over there and myself you know neal hello and welcome to the program. a prominent critic donald trump was offered an eye opening interpretation of the u.s. president's now infamous ukraine phone calls the all i'm going impeachment investigation appears to pick up steam mr trump. adam schiff accusing him of simply making up his version of the conversation. to make a political opponent understand. this that there's

a lot of talk about biden and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do would be great. i'm going to put you in touch with attorney general united states my attorney general bill barr he's got the whole weight. of the american law enforcement. behind him i'm also going to have attorney general. and we will get to the bottom of it. and by the way don't call me i'll call you when you're done with whatever you would like to come to the white house feel free to call give us a date and we'll work i look forward to seeing. well on tuesday the house of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into donald trump over alleged attempts to force his ukrainian counterpart to investigate hunter biden the son of former u.s. vice president joe biden trumps a potential 2020 election opponent of course well legal media analyst lionel

believes on a shift played fast and loose with the facts when it comes to thoughtful. it is extremely duplicitous it is extremely misleading and very troublesome for the way adam schiff came about and basically provided a parody a unique way of looking at it and he was reading what people thought was actual transcript provisions actual statements made sentences a conversation sent and then later on when stressed he says well i was being. a bit loose with this i was giving you one kind of a perhaps a parody of a kind of a satirical look well that satirical look is absolutely 1st of all so necessary but it was most problematic and the cause of many many people being very very angry with what he did it was on call for duplicitous misleading and wrong.

well in another development america special envoy to ukraine kurt volker has quit amid the coal scuttle of course as we have been mentioning there is still the corruption allegations surrounding joe biden and his soul some of which have been dismissed as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media. has been looking at whether to being a bit too quick to write off the story. so the reason why the president is after the man who's most likely to challenge him next year is nothing but a conspiracy so many voices are saying just that president trump is again insisting today that reporters should dig into a conspiracy theory involving biden ukraine and a ukrainian prosecutor promoting without evidence the dubious narrative that biden used the office of the vice president to advance and protect his son's interests as dig into these unproven claims that trump is making about the former vice president

we cannot have a debate about a conspiracy theory but just how much does the public in america know about the case of the ukrainian energy company a few years ago the root of all this stir the public deserves to be aware and make up their own mind conspiracy or proper investigation material so joe biden's son hunter was on the board of directors at risk mr biden seen here as vice president was washington's point man with kiev at the time meanwhile this man victor schalke in the prosecutor general there was in charge of investigating barista ma and its founder for economic crimes he eventually lost his job well does have a look at how frank joe biden was about his involvement i said you not get the 1000000000 i'm going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours 6 hours if the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money oh son of a. fighter jets guess what happened later after the new prosecutor came in. his

office eventually gave the company a free pass obviously though we cannot connect any dots here but just so you know the fired ukraine official no matter how corrupt he ended up being was confident about why he got kicked out here's a quote from his affidavit the truth is that i was forced out because i was leading a wide ranging corruption probe into peru's mode ngs and natural gas in ukraine and joe biden and biden was a member of the board of directors anyway let me move on with a few more relevant findings by a journalist from the hill who studied a bunch of e-mails then ukrainian government memo. it turns out the folks from a us p.r. firm that represented breasts were really eager to get a meeting with the most senior prosecutors in kiev one a male claimed to have been sent by craning embassy diplomat to one of the people from the firm said this with regards to the missing some i suggest that you wait

until the next week when the reason expected to vote in the government. it's been revealed that on the same day prosecutors shocking was shown the door the top guys of the p.r. team once again got in touch with kiev and only took them several days to get a meeting with the new acting prosecutor general his memo suggests the folks that helped wrist mall raised the changes at the prosecutor's office the visiting side was surprised by the info and sent the us state department has completely different information describing the failure of the reforms at the prosecutor's office but then they changed their mind and realized u.s. officials were misinformed they also promised to hook up ukraine's incoming law enforcement officials with ties to the state department and help organize a trip to the u.s. they informed me that they would seek to facilitate my visit to the u.s. to pass on the correct information to state department officials. after this

man you were the sankoh officially took over from the ag. prosecutor general step by step all the proceedings against the firm where hunter biden had one of the top jobs began to that now back to mr biden seeing here and someone who used to meet him quite often as the head of ukraine according to the fired prosecutors testimony the president was pushing too on several occasions president poroshenko asked me to consider the possibility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company but i refused to close this investigation now where that would lead experts in conspiracy tagging or the us public as a whole i have no clue. most rallies demanding action over climate change have been held across canada with their own huff a 1000000 marching here in montreal alone teen climate's activist gratitude and

comedian prime minister just a true joe they join the rally during a private meeting between the perth she urged him to do more to say. the march takes place just invests ation which is undercover phone that canadian companies have been sending plastic waste overseas instead of recycling it out home exported more than $10000.00 tonnes of it to malaysia in $28.00 days it's claimed up late to address the increase in the number of illegal processing factories that are inside this factory we see workers exposed to potentially toxic fumes without proper protection. wherever this stand there are ways to malaysia ways where those plastic weighs a lot of ways we will send it back and we will fight that even though we are a small country we cannot be bullied by developed countries. it is

a global problem seemingly getting bigger and bigger so we asked people in march in montreal whether they were aware of what's happening with kalidas ways. and you know what happens plus you know if you can take a look. put into a recent c.d.c. report a lot of this plastic containers be shipped to malaysia where the negotiated i just wanted to get your response to that how you. feel surreal if you ashamed if you wish to cure. dishes in a sense i'm sorry to hear that i'm going have not. kept up with what's happened so fast. it's terrible for civil servants shockey to say. oh we should do something about it long enough for a job you should be doing for the patients well it'll be interesting. to do a lot of things with respect to the plastic. how should we do

a lot of. these additional things here start up this like we sit here sort of send it over there we're just said well the philippines sounds experienced similar problems to malaysia in recent years but president deter say put an end to the violations on centonze all rubbish back take care of them indeed other countries to physicists and environmental scientist in this run courts come needy politicians well the only pay lip service he thinks to environmental concerns. true or not such a hypocrite he would not be marching in montreal he would be making an announcement that they're going to ban this kind of moral and improper behavior in the world which is to export your talks that garbage most canadians do recycle and they participate in the in that recycling programs and the. that their cities and governments are you know following how companies collect and sort and recycle

this material they can't imagine or they most canadians. would think that these companies are actually selling those materials off to distant lands to to the developing world countries it's mass hypocrisy is what we're seeing now among our canadian politicians they don't do the real things that they have the power to do instead they would prefer to do token gestures like walk in this march. and of a story where a closely following today victims of pression in sudan are accusing a major french punk of complicity in human rights abuses in the country b.n.p. work to defect to central bank during a period when widespread rights violations by the regime were carried on it our friends correspondent charted to penske takes a look at the accusations. charges of crimes and genocide linked to the conflict in sudan's darfur region have been made against the country's former president bashir

but now an alliance of human rights organizations waltzed to broaden the responsibility to include french bank b.m.p. . we call on the french authorities to promptly open an investigation to determine whether b.n.p. is criminally responsible for its dealings with sudan 2 out of knowing plaintiffs have waived their right to remain anonymous they are my son an activist who spoke out against the government he was injured during an attack on his village in darfur later arrested and beaten and he says he saw close relatives shot and killed the 2nd is how a silly who was kidnapped by jun jaweed forces a loyal to the former sudanese government she was shot tortured and so 100 family members executed so why did they hold the bank responsible for what has

happened to them behind the greatest crimes and human rights violations there is always money by granting the sudanese regime access to international money markets b.n.p. power allowed the government to function pay its staff military and security forces make purchases abroad all while sudan was a pariah on the international scene for planning and committing crimes in darfur and the crimes were horrific widespread human rights violations between 20022008 led to the deaths of more than 3 $100000.00 sudanese civilians b.m.p. power to sit downs defacto central bank giving the former government access to international money markets that's according to the u.s. department of justice the complainants say that despite subsea. tensional evidence of such crimes they have largely gone on punished we want to make the voices of

sudanese victims heard through this complaint to this day they have been denied the possibility of justice whether it's done before the international criminal court or in the u.s. that reference to the u.s. relates to a previous case against b.m.p. past about for violation of u.s. sanctions partly for its dealings with sudan back in 2014 the banks seckel the case for a record $8900000000.00 following so why did the money end was it used to compensate the victims who had been identified and submitted their testimonies quite simply no before these testimonies could be taken into account the u.s. congress passed a law that diverted the b.n.p. progress fine to american victims of terrorism leaving the sudanese and other victims without any form of redress for the harm they suffered in which the bank is believed to have played a role so with the money in the pockets of the americans and the sudanese victims

are now making another attempt to receive restitution this time here in france that's because it's new allow for corporations to be prosecuted if they've played a role in crimes committed a brute party asked to be in for a statement it is yet to respond to that request the paris tribunal must now decide if this new complaint warrants a criminal investigation into b m p power involvement any case though is likely to prove complex and lengthy meaning the victims still have a long way to go before they may feel that they perceived any justice. auty paris. dicing with death to cast the vote saturday's presidential elections in afghanistan witnesses violent terror attacks reportedly leaving dozens of people dead many more injured we'll break down what's known out of the break.

through our need to play just one game so sudden this somebody comes and another game and they don't know what to do with it you know their best hope is to temporize they could gin you on to the next american election if trump is all over to this side over a leash because the democrats saw it it disposed towards the islamic republic so you know maybe we can go back to the old james. quietly give you consistent as i quietly you believe the impression that i must. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of

the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. voting is wrapped up in afghanistan's presidential election but it's been marred by tragedy local afghan media are now reporting as many as 32 people were killed more than 100 wounded insurgent violence rocked the country we are at work in right now to verify that figure for you explosions missile attacks occurred at polling stations in the troubled nation the taliban has since claimed responsibility and it is the 4th election since the u.s.

for. most of the remove the taliban from power in 2001 on the 1st since donald trump broke off peace talks with the group earlier this month more than $9000000.00 people registered to vote in the election a low turnout is said to have been low the 1st results are not expected by the way until mid october figures show that only 20 percent of afghans believe the vote was free and for. the afghan government currently controlled slightly more than half the country the rest is either under they taliban or tested there were around $5000.00 polling stations open throughout the country and some today but that is done from the more than $7000.00 initially planned hundreds of them were situated in dangerous areas afghan based journalists spoke to us earlier about the election . today morning the elections kicked off however the turnout is very low in many parts of the country especially in north and parts of afghanistan we have heard more than 20 blasts took place in the capital

kabul in south or in kandahar province as well as in a lot of our province and could this province that taliban are really you know warrant to disrupt the process but you know despite all these threats spite all these insecurity the process hasn't which is a very big damage or a very big let's say obstacle to prevent you know the whole process but we could say that you know there's so far we have heard that 3 big attacks have been thwarted by the government forces because the afghan government announced more than 100000 afghan security forces are deployed to secure the process still they turn out overall turnout shows that people are scared off the going to the polling stations to do no good c.q.

they're busy with. the. busy to. do that trying to see voters and for of these laws no one should be afraid of anyone should vote for president because it is their right as you know the. good with the suspicion. the security is good right now we are proving to have a democratic country on land should be peaceful and our people should be happy well a research analyst at the center for conflict and peace studies our line for us the complexities the challenges posed by today's election. i hope i'm wrong but we entered through election crisis where the top contenders particularly the president in his chief executive of the law both refused to accept the results so i think that point what the likely scenario would be that selection cannot be sorted out

then let's have. an interim government where the taliban are also. happy about it in that it could give a chance to. peace peace as well i think you know one of the key reasons for the taliban to not negotiate with one government is president of the army because in 2014 before the elections he made promises to them but once he took power. he could not fulfill those promises so i think that's a likely scenario where interim government will be created. after the election crisis come in so i think that would be the only solution in it if you look at the reports that are coming that a peace process is going to start in a week it makes more sense. of thousands of people gathered in hong kong this weekend to mark 5 years since the start of the cities on bread revolution the 2014 civil disobedience campaign saw the semi autonomous chinese

state occupied for 79 days protesters call for free elections now saturday's rally also represents a continuation of this summer's pro-democracy demonstrations. security forces quickly tried to disperse the crowds with water killing and tear gas as some demonstrators smallest of cocktails and other objects at officers the event was fully authorized by the authorities and was organized by a peaceable human rights groups which has brought in millions and the streets of. was was achieved. through a health scandal that has rocked a drug maker there is on trial over a weight loss pill which something may have killed as many as 2000 people the drug in question is called mediator it was introduced in 176 for diet. ethics use me who

are trying to lose weight their fronts we know beyond the 10 years ago but that was long after other european countries health officials claim it could be a contributing factor in the deaths of patients those who survived say their lives have been ruined. they stole my life i had just retired and thought i was going to begin a new life but i can't leave my house now i can see anyone i get tired all the time savvy me that it was selling poison then like you once like me are condemned to a slow death my life is ruined the truth was hidden from the patients a lot i was created that's why there are doctors pharmacologists and officials that are being accused of conflicts of interest we expect exemplary sanctions because what's at stake is not only what survey did it's also about prevention because we cannot say today that these practices do not exist. well i ring for the

1st dr who link the death with the mediator she told us why the court case is so vital. and i told you suppose civic we have been waiting for this trial for many years because it has been announced and then it was always being delayed now i'm thinking about the victims some of them are not with us and he died without making it to the end of this trial it makes me feel so sorry and attacked today the trial got in the way we see a very carefully crafted sequence of bringing the case to a tough indictment and a spreadsheet totally revealing the level of the tragedy more than $3700.00 people have a right to compensation that no lead to the ha so what's the current thinking well it's alleged that the pill cause high pressure in vessels that supply blood to the lungs which in turn delivers it to the left of the heart causing a variety of problems it's no reported that some of the deaths were the result of heart failure cardiac arrest well the lawyer for the drug maker said that the firm

didn't know about the side effects which resulted in heart problems irene frosch will again believes french people today have little trust the medical companies. many scientific publications proved it toxicity which was just enough to be discovered that alone would be enough not to buy this lie from severe the criminal investigation into victims' interests is not on the way and that it is also in our interests it benefit society to show that the pharmaceutical companies crimes if they are recognized this crimes by the 4th won't go unpunished it will quit today we french people want to trust any medication it's necessary to understand what happened with the mistake by the healthcare regulators it was and how the lab was cheating and we have to learn from that and everybody must remember. all right downs here up the top to bring you all the very latest happenings around the world this weekend but stay close to our 1st selection of great shows getting their start

not be tolerated in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so wants and making the economy of venezuela scream. just like richard burroughs worst nightmare is like hi i'm richard burr welcome to dead planet everything on planet earth is dead because been securitized and we've consumed it all well there's a teenager in the us or a poor heartbroken crying her eyes out because she's going to grow up on a dead planet because all the securitized and sold and resold repack has relied upon the good of this time 10000 were left with nothing except a dream of what it was what it was then and this is no more.

than. come to redacted is not the comedy show we're americans in america covering american news called foreign agents. and yes we'll get to the impeachment stuff in a minute can't get goddamn pants on our right i mean you can take them off if you want but i don't promise anything. but 1st this past monday climate activists here in washington d.c. blocked intersections jamming traffic and pissing off a lot of people. seems clear that when it comes to our impending extinction no one cared for him less it means you have to sit in traffic for 10 extra minutes. there is nothing that upsets us more than being stuck in traffic on able to get. to the jobs we hate. drives us nuts.

the bigger the type of protests that matter the ones that interrupt the flow of business not to the colorful large is where we all show up for 2 hours while the politicians go golfing ok i'm not saying don't do this i'm just saying our rulers don't care or that you did this it's like when you address of a baby you dress of your baby in a costume i'm not saying you have to stop but you're only doing it for yourself. baby ok. thank you ok. but since i aim to please here's a point for those of you who don't give a about the climate crisis the corporations that are screwing your life pillaging your land sucking your tax dollars drive thru subsidies and meanwhile paying a warm can of fart.
